Additional route utility commands:

     flush	 Remove all routes.
     change	 Change aspects of a route (such as its gateway).
     monitor	 Continuously report any changes to the routing information base, routing lookup misses, or suspected network partitionings.
Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
